It's refreshing to see positive videos like these, because we live in just a negative world that only know how to tear down and hold people back from their dreams. Here's a person that has just a zeal for living and an amazing talent. Her inner beauty comes shining out. Her love and belief in God is wonderful. Continue being you.
Mormon entertainer Patrice Arkins loves the feeling of singing at the top of her lungs in Australia's theaters, but she's most grateful for the feelings of peace that comes from family. See more at www.mormon.org/patrice
What a beautiful gift this young woman has been given. Her perspective and outlook on life is inspiring. I am sure her brother can hear her voice echo in heaven.
How anyone can dislike these videos tells me how empty and sad some lives of people I share this planet with are. I was touched by your story and beautiful, clear and crisp voice. Sydney looks awesome.
We love her too. As a radio presenter, it's a joy to know that we have enough home-grown talent to play music such as Patrice's, on air. Her rendition of Shenandoah - small as it was in this clip, moved me. As we say in Oz. Goodonya, Patrice.
These "I am a mormon" videos touch me deeply. Reading though the various comments below, it's notable that some feel stirrings in their heart, some are indifferent, and some are even hostile - reminds me of the parable of the sower. By experience, if I am moving away from the Church of Jesus Christ - I feel darkness. If I move toward Christ and see to live as a latter day saint should - my life is filled with brilliant light. This is a good seed, and I will continue to nourish it.
@gymroxy63 the purpose of these videos is to introduce the world to a typical selection of members of the LDS faith. There have been a lot of misnomers about Mormons, I have met several people who thought that Mormons were Amish; this is a way for the world to learn about us, who we are. I know first hand that these ads have made a tremendously positive effect
Four Dislikes? How could you possibly dislike any element of this video? Seriously that's terrible, if you don't like Mormons take it out somewhere else.
@timetomakeauturn In the King James Version, which is the the version that the mormons use, in John 4:24 it says "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Just a little side note for anyone that reads timetomakeauturn's comment.
@petervanwinkles investigate it yourself. I felt the same way as you did, I didn't think it was possible to know such things but I am the kind of person that wants to dive into something and learn all I can before my convictions & opinions become concrete. so I read religious books and learned about many religions. I read the Book of Mormon and it changed my life and what I know to be true. I didn't know such happiness and truth existed in the world.
I love these videos. They really show how great life can be being a Latter Day Saint regardless of what people may think. They obviously strive to fight for FAMILY UNITY and CHILDREN's RIGHTS. Its what Jesus would do I suppose. CTR I believe. They sure do CHOOSE THE RIGHT in Utah
Mormons are some of the nicest people. Psalms 90:2 "..., or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." According to this verse, how long HAS God been God? Isaiah 44:6 "I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God." Isaiah 44:8 "Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no God, I know not any." Finally, John 4:24 "God is spirit, and has not flesh and bones." Good Every goo Mormon should pray about this.
I live in a multicultural city in England. It has very high numbers of Africans and Muslims, and there is definitely an ugly side to multiculturalism which seems to be glossed over in these videos.
aaah i couldnt care for any religion. i guess its just not me to follow something i wasnt there to witness or just read from a book to have the supposed facts. how do i know it stayed true for hundreds of years without change?
@TheValleyPsalm i see that your normal people, but why does it matter what religion you happen to be, i don't see the point in these videos onlyyyy because i don't see the reason to broadcast your religion/ any other's religion as well, my problem is that the mormon religion seems to be the only religion that happens to be doing this, and its not really bringing on a good effect or good reputation for mormons, which is the whole purpose
gymroxy63 the reason we do this is to counteract the millions of false concepts that so many seem to have! To show that their is truly a reason for our happiness, joy and peace, despite hardships that may come!

Very touching. And she's beautiful. God bless.

Sometimes, it is so much easier to give up but her example showed me the importance of keep going!

This was so very touching. Made me cry. Godbless

What a lovely person, and a beautiful story of faith, of living to create Beauty, and of a family. Thank you for creating this!

I feel your spirit, it beams from your beautiful face, and in everything that you do. Inspiring and heart warming.

!Wonderful voice!
My favorite part is when she says, "... And I'm a Mormon." :)
Patrice has a big heart and wonderful singing voice!
She has a great voice and beautiful family. Good video

hahaha my baby cousin loves that (the way the video opens up). Simple darling video!
I wish I could have seen Wicked when she was there! Great words from a great woman. Thanks Patrice!
I'm a Mormon, God would want us to be happy... and to find are happiness in life. Cute baby,and young family.
Oh Shenandoah. One of my favorites. :)

That baby in the beginning is adorable ^_^
Love to you
What is that song called?

Fat Tracks We have detractors and their feelings of bitterness against the true church and Kingdom of God are real.
I know Patrice is married now, but more people would be able to find this video if it also had "Tipoki" somewhere on this!
@Haloskulls117 its not trying to convince people, its showing that mormons are just normal people.
Why is it they don't allow comments without approval???????
@timetomakeauturn In the King James Version, which is the the version that the mormons use, in John 4:24 it says "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Just a little side note for anyone that reads timetomakeauturn's comment.

Estou feliz por falar a língua universal; a língua de Jesus Cristo!
Do whatever it is you guys have to do, just please, stop coming to my door.
In what religion do you not get that peace?
